Cook will bat 1 more day and score 250 today....Samit patel will score 150.... and Yuvi will field for 2nd day in a row...to dismiss Dhoni's fears.... and yes it means Raina will be 'forced out' now... Dhoni n N Srinivasan can't prevent the storm called Yuvi from taking that no.6 slot...
Is Dhoni sending a message to the selectors that he may not be happy to have Yuvi in the side in place of raina? It is going to be between raina and Yuvi as it will be difficult to overlook the claims of Tiwari after his fine innings against the English attack.

Yuvraj was given many chances in the past which he failed to utilize. Even in his peak days he didn't have the stamina or the temperament of a test cricketer. Just because of the sentimental factor that he came out fighting cancer, ppl tend to lean towards his selection. I totally agree he is a good ODI player but as far as test cricket is concerned - i doubt his ability to stay in the pitch for more than 4 hours. Btw don't worry our selectors are spineless and will go with Yuvraj because of his current form where Raina failed. Also letz c whether will there be a change on top of the order (replacements to Gauti and Sehwag as both are in pathetic form).

Do u know how yuvi was given chances ? Always our middle order was fully packed with dravid, sachin,saurav and vvs . Yuvi was always given chance with hanging sword. Raina has played consistently and failed. Yuvi deserves long sreak.

Mr.Jindal, in UK ppl watch EPL (football) twice the time of total cricket played by Indian team. Did UK fail in economy, but on the contrary its the one of the key drivers of the economy and infact the EPL football players are among the rich sportsmen in the world....you hate test cricket but ppl like it even in India. Infact in UK, Australia and South Africa they give much importance to test cricket by conducting 5 test match series unlike in India....where these days we find only 2 test matches in a tour whereas we go upto 7 ODIs plus 2 T20s. Mind you test cricket will identify a true and potential cricketer and gives you lotz of recognition in the international arena. Which is why ppl like Yuvraj, Kohli, Raine and others too wait for the opportunity inspite of being permanent features in ODI circle.

Common Ramesh....Yuvraj failed miserably when he was made captain couple of times. Captainship is an art and don't expect captain to score the tons of runs like Kallis or Sachin or even Kohli. Ponting was exception but again he too failed when his stalwart batsman and bowlers in Mark Waugh, Slater, Hayden, Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Mcgrath retired....btw even during peak time arguably the best captain South African captain Hansie Cronje averaged less than Dhoni... Refer Wikipedia... and check for yourself...
